INSTALLED IN SUITABLE AREA: To insure suffi cient  ventilation 
and combustion air supply, proper clearances from the water heater 
must be maintained.  See “Locating the New Water Heater” section.  
Combustible materials such as clothing, cleaning materials, or 
fl ammable liquids, etc. must not be placed against or adjacent to the 
water heater which can cause a fi re.
ANODE ROD INSPECTION
The anode rod is used to protect the tank from corrosion.  Most hot 
water tanks are equipped with an anode rod.  The submerged rod 
sacrifi ces itself to protect the tank.  Instead of corroding the tank, 
water ions attack and eat away the anode rod.  This does not affect 
the water’s taste or color.  The rod must be maintained to keep the 
tank in operating condition.
Anode deterioration depends on water conductivity, not necessarily 
water condition. A corroded or pitted anode rod indicates high water 
conductivity and should be checked and/or replaced more often than  
an anode rod that appears to be intact. Replacement of a depleted 
anode rod can extend the life of your water heater. Inspection should 
be conducted by a qualifi ed technician, and at a minimum should be 
checked annually after the warranty period.
TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE 
RELIEF VALVE OPERATION
                      
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at 
least once a year.
FIGURE  22.
When checking the temperature-pressure relief valve operation, make 
sure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-
pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) that the water discharge 
will not cause any property damage, as the water may be extremely 
hot, see Figure 22.
If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and 
continues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet 
to the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace the 
temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.
If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weeps or 
discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion.  You 
may have a check valve installed in the water line or a water meter 
with a check valve.  Consult your local water supplier or service 
agency for  further information.  Do not plug the temperature-pressure 
relief valve.
DRAINING
The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing 
temperatures.  Also periodic draining and cleaning of sediment from 
the tank may be necessary.
1.  Set the blower switch to the “OFF” position.
2.  CLOSE the cold water inlet valve to the water heater.
3.  OPEN a nearby hot water faucet and leave open to allow for  
draining.
4.  Connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate to an adequate 
drain.
5.  OPEN the water heater drain valve to allow for tank draining.
 
NOTE: If the water heater is going to be shut down and drained 
for an extended period, the drain valve should be left open with 
hose connected allowing water to terminate to an adequate 
drain.
6.  CLOSE the drain valve.
7.  Follow instructions in the “Filling The Water Heater” section.
8.  Follow the lighting instructions on the label or see page 14 under  
“Lighting Instructions” to restart the water heater.
DRAIN VALVE WASHER REPLACEMENT 
(See Figure 23)
1.  Turn “OFF” gas supply to water heater.
2.  Follow “Draining” instructions.
3.  Turning counterclockwise ( 
 ), remove the hex cap below the 
screw handle. 
4.  Remove the washer and put the new one in place.
5.   Screw the handle and cap assembly back into the drain valve and 
retighten using a wrench. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
6.  Follow instructions in the “Filling The Water Heater” section.
7.  Check for leaks.
